These are the final drawings of several of my Otis College of Art Life Drawing I (freshman) students. They did a great job and I am particularly proud of these examples of their work:

Following the conclusion of my first semester at Otis, I was happy to have a little time to do some of my own work. Just a few figurative traditional / digital experimental pieces with which I was happy:

A particularly beautiful piece by my adult student at Brentwood Art Center, where I just wrapped up several classes. This is from my Drawing Fundamentals class - the student had had no prior drawing experience:

Thanks for looking! In Spring 2009 I am looking forward to teaching a painting class at Brentwood and a character / creature based life drawing class within the digital department at Otis. If you would like to see my students’ future work, you can follow it on my teaching blog:

Happy Holidays and have a great 2009. :)

Wow!
Your students are very talented!
Who are they?
Perhaps they also have a blog or online gallery somewhere?
Would be nice to be able to give them a few words of praise and encouragement :slight_smile:

These drawings only make me wish I hadn’t waisted 20 years of my life by not drawing O_o

Best of luck for the future!

WOW!! :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: What a great year, Rebecca!! I just envy your students! :cry:

#33

you have a really talented bunch of students :slight_smile: Great stuff!:thumbsup:

#34

this thread does not really help me coping with the atlantic ocean and the bible belt plus the Rocky Mountains…

If I were you I’d be bursting with pride and self-satisfaction: you did such a great job as a teacher.

#35

Anand stole my words…you’re an awesome teacher that is so evident by the successes of your students. Wish I could be your student :sad:

#36

Johan, thanks, they are! Well, generally speaking most students don’t want their name online…I’m sure that were I to ask each person and seek permissions, some wouldn’t mind, but for the most part people want to remain anonymous. I did however create a blog for one of my students, but the photos are mine and I did all the posting. ^^ The link is here:

It doesn’t look like you’re wasting any time now, so I don’t think you need to worry. :slight_smile:

krispee, nice to hear from you! Thanks for your feedback, the Otis students I agree did some really nice work. I hope you have a great holiday as well and a Happy New Year!

Anand, thanks so much! I envy you!! ^^ Cheers for dropping by.

Magda, thank you! I really enjoyed working with these guys.

Mu, thanks a lot! :slight_smile: PS - there’s not Bible Belt in CA ^^

prettyh8machine, thank you! I think you can push yourself in your studies…I know I had to, for a long time, before I started teaching. It can be a hard road, but stick with it!

Cheers for the comments guys. :slight_smile:

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for explaining and posting that link.
Perhaps we will hear from those huge talents when they feel the time is ripe :slight_smile:

Our teachers never draw in class O_o
So I’m gonna keep coming to this thread every now and then…

#38

Hey Johan, probably the better place to see future student work is my teaching blog:

http://mirrorbooks.blogspot.com/

I try to keep that updated pretty often, but probably won’t update this thread for a while. Thanks for your interest! :slight_smile:
